Episode

The Fratbots are the three active members of the robot fraternity Epsilon Rho Rho. Gearshift is chapter president, while Oily and Fatbot round out the active member list. Gearshift laments they constitute "the lamest frat on campus" (adding that Hillel throws better parties), and begs Bender, a legendary member of the fraternity, for help. He obliges, and despite their "dodeca-tuple secret probation," hijinks commence. First, they climb a ladder to spy on the Dorm Girls' computer (and fall, demolishing Snooty House's servant quarters). A visit to the Dean's office does not go well. Finally, Bender enters them in the Big Fraternity Raft Regatta, helping them to an unlikely but delicious win; consequently Dean Vernon must grudgingly serve as Grand Marshall in a parade honoring Epsilon Rho Rho.
